You can increase the likelihood that readers take the time to leave reviews by putting in the time to create a personal connection with them first. Remember that when you’re asking for reviews, it’s a request of someone’s time for your benefit. So keep it casual and stay friendly. Okay, now that we got the rules out of the way, onto the fun! 

There are several different types of editors out there - and it can be quite confusing what each of their roles are. In this video, I'm going to clarify the difference between:

1. Proofreaders

2. Copy editors

3. Developmental editors

4. Project editors

In this video, I share the top 3 ways to move your novel from needing heavy editing to light editing, and ultimately save you money when self-publishing:

1. Bottoms up

2. Get vocal

3. Change the format
